8/29: Open Game Thread

Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners, Aug 29, 2009 7:10 PM PDT

Gil Meche

Sep 08, 1978


The Mariners have gone through a number of pitchers whose problems were "just between the ears."

Gil Meche appears to be disappointed in you. Or perhaps at the lineup he gets to face.

Oh, god, don't look directly at it!

Bill Hall to 3rd and Saunders in the corner OF would make so much more sense.

Josh Wilson is turning into Boom Boom.

Don't forget, these games don't matter.

In terms of this season. Now, in terms of the all important Cockpunching Bet, this series is critical, but that is a hard sell to Wak in all likelyhood.

Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

Has anyone else ever noticed that Gutz has this way of calming your worries on a long flyball?

He’s got a composure when tracking a warning track ball that really helps to quell oneself. I love this man.

For sure.

But it seems like whenever a ball is hit to center there is nothing to be nervous about because g00tz is always beneath it by the time they pan out. It’s a great feeling.
